What you should do if you wake up at night and can not sleep

Where it comes from, you have no idea, but suddenly you are wide awake and it does not appear that you fall asleep quickly. This type of insomnia is more common that people do not fall asleep when they go to bed. The Wall Street Journal therefore spoke with several sleep experts. They come with six tips to doze off again as soon as possible:

1. Leave the lights off
Bright light is your greatest enemy if you want to sleep. It does the amount of the sleep hormone melatonin descend immediately. You need to use the toilet then prefer no light or a very small light.

2. Do not lie in bed
Do not lie still in bed, but go out there and do something relaxing. Think of crossword puzzles, knitting or reading a book. And no, no phone or computer. 

3. Use sunglasses
If you end up on the couch in front of the TV, put one sunglasses, so the light does not come in as fast (no one you see).

4. Eat nothing
The temptation is there to grab a bag of chips at night, but do not do it. Numerous studies show that you will be thicker. Moreover, your body sees it as a reward. You train your body as it were always at four o'clock in the morning to wake up to eat. 

5. Do not look at the clock
Almost everyone look at the clock and think about how few hours you can sleep. It makes you stressed out from it, your heart rate goes up and falling asleep lasts even longer.

6. Do not sleep during the daytime
Even though you are in the mood for a power nap, do not do it. Do not go exaggeration to bed early after a short night. Any change of your rhythm brings only harm to your sleep pattern. Just go as normal at the same time bed and get up at the same time.

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
